Center for Translational Science

VISION STATEMENT

To promote innovation that improves child, family, and community health.

MISSION

To foster broad collaborative investigation that accelerates discovery across the continuum of the bench, the bedside, and the community.

OVERVIEW

To accomplish its mission, the Center emphasizes:

Studies on molecular pathogenesis

Development and validation of experimental therapeutics

Outcome-oriented patient research

Novel, innovative projects and product development

Collaboration within the research community and between researchers and the larger community

Service to communities of diverse populations

The Center for Translational Science works to improve the prevention and treatment of childhood diseases through “translational research,” which moves scientific discoveries into preventative and therapeutic applications that address disease processes and disease-related issues in children and their families. The goal of this work is to assure the highest quality care across the continuum from prevention through diagnosis and treatment to cure or end of life care.
